The basic physical performance test shows that with the increase in SC strength, FRCA exhibit lower water absorption and crushing index, meanwhile keeping higher densities. Mechanical property tests, including compressive strength, flexural strength and uniaxial compressive stress-strain tests, show that compressive strength,flexural strength and elasticity modulus of recycled sand mortars increase roughly with the increase in SC strength. The proposed mixture design method demonstrates that all of the components can be kept as the same as those in natural mortar mixture design and FRCA must be pre-wetted before making mortar mixture. Meanwhile, the reuse of higher strength SC can ensure that recycled mortar mixtures are able to achieve similar mechanical performance when compared to natural mortar designs.展开更多

The performance of AAC-PP is investigated in terms of compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, porosity, heat and humidity capacity. The results are compared with control specimen made of autoclaved aerated concrete only (Non-AAC-PP). Results showed that ultimate compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength can be obtained when the content of polypropylene fiber added at 0.75% by volume while porosity of specimens rapidly decreased when content of fiber addition increased above 1% of its volume. Additional, a comparison study of heat and humidity transfer properties on AAC-PP walls showed that the AAC-PP house had lower indoor air and moisture content than (Non-AAC-PP) house. Therefore, addition PP fiber on AAC increased mechanical properties, enhanced hygrothermal performance and reducing moisture content under tropical climate of Bangkok.展开更多
